Luther's Liturgical Music

<p>Martin Luther's relationship to music has been largely downplayed yet music played a vital role in Luther's life -- and he in turn had a deep and lasting effect on Christian hymnody. In Luther's Liturgical Music Robin Leaver comprehensively explores these connections. Replete with tables figures and musical examples this volume is the most extensive study on Luther and music ever published. Leaver's work makes a formidable contribution to Reformation studies but worship leaders musicians and others will also find it an invaluable very readable resource.</p>
